In good economic times, I would agree that projects should "stand on
their own" financially and without gov't backing. But these are not
good times, and it seems to me that most anything that creates or
preserves jobs right now is better than continued unemployment and all
the attendant consequences.

Building unneeded/unwanted infrastructure with public funds is not
good policy, good times or bad. There are plenty of worthwhile
projects that need funding.

All of which are opposed by Republicans, unless it's in their
district. Then, they're opposed to it before they're for it.

The pork barrel is no stranger to either side of the aisle. Just as
an FYI, I do no consider myself to be a Republican or a Democrat.
They have both become way too polarized and polarizing for my taste.
We need someone who can pull the country back together and I don't see
much of that on the horizon.

So how are you and Wilbur getting on?
